parkrun hits Cornwall!
Cornwall Sports Partnership and National Trust have been working tirelessly over
the past few months to get parkrun launched in Cornwall.
parkrun is a free, weekly, 5km, timed runs that are
open to all ages and abilities. Currently there are
approximately 200 events that take place every week
in the UK and more recently in other countries. They
are free, for participants, to take part in and require
runners to register on-line for a unique athlete number
and to print their own identification barcode before
taking part.
It will be taking place at Lanhydrock House near
Bodmin and takes place at 9 am every week from
Saturday 18th January 2014. The route is fantastic and
takes in the picturesque view of the Victorian House as
well as part of the 1,000 acres, with parkland, woods and riverside paths.
For more information please click the link here to go to the Cornwall Sports
Partnership website or alternatively search lanhydrock parkrun on facebook or
